11-2-23 I just learned of Virginia Dare´s passing today via a mutual friend I worked on staff with Virginia at Rufin Speech and Language and also Jefferson Parish Public School System There are actually no words that accurately describe my respect for her in the field of speech pathology She was amazing, having worked with and experience with practically every speech and/or language disorder known to man. she was a wealth of information and fortunately, freely shared her knowledge and expertise. additionally, she was a classy Southern lady who genuinely loved people. Virginia is and will be missed among her professional colleagues and friends and family. to know her was to love her!

I have known and enjoyed more than 40 years the friendship and kindness of Virginia Dare. First at St. Mary's Dominican College and other activities and fun visits when I lived in Boston and great moments with her mother and many friends while in New Orleans. Virginia Dare was a joy to be with and a beloved friend. My prayers for her continued spreading of joy in heaven!

What a wonderful person. She was a dear friend from DH Holmes, Ski Club, and personally a most important person in our son's life success. Her kindness, vitality, ethical sensibility, knowledge, and spirituality are her enviable legacy. Deepest sympathy to her family and friends. She was truly one of a kind. I am blessed to have known her.

I was charmed by Virginia, as we had a lot in common & for her brightness-that glow about her. She & were roommates when we served for Cursillo #155, i believe it was. I was saddened to here she had passed away. Saddened for her family, her friends, & those whom came in contact with her! Sincerely, Anna Clara Gayle

What a terrific loss to all of us! This modest and gracious lady was the polar opposite of self-indulgent. She was ALWAYS totally focused on the person she was speaking to and on the subject of conversation. Whether that subject was a current movie or the NFL or medieval architecture or space exploration or classical languages or home improvement or costume design or modern art or public figures or Biblical stories or electronic repairs or street flooding or recipes or anything in between and beyond...she listened carefully, her eyes sparkling with interest, and responded enthusiastically with keen observation and wit. When challenged, or challenging someone else, on any point, she held her own firmly, and gently, calmly, kindly and graciously. She was wonderful company and a wonderful example. I wish I had known her longer will miss her very much.

So many memories from our SMU and Delta Gamma days. We were called before the Dean of Women for our collaborating with Virginia Dare when she got locked out of the sorority house. She knocked on the window of our freshman dorm where we took her in for the night. We freshman bonded with our senior pledge trainer for that prank. Loved her inspiration

Virginia Dare was unique is so many ways that her passing leaves a huge hole in the universe. We will miss our dear friend at Munholland, in Cursillo, PEO, and all the other ways she served. God bless her for the wonderful, Christ-filled legacy she leaves. Keith and Sarah Kreutziger
